Scottish Ensemble Performs Philip Glass

The eclectic Scottish Ensemble pushes the boat out into the waters of contemporary music for strings, with a kaleidoscopically varied programme.

The concert concludes with Philip Glass’ Symphony No.3, written for 19 string players.

Glass said of the work that it ‘fell naturally into a four-movement form and even given the nature of the ensemble and solo writing, seems to have the structure of a true symphony, though in the core it is the symphony for strings.’
